Postcard lighthouses

Sand Island light built in 1881. It marks the shoal where the freighter SEVONA went down in 1905

Devils Island Light opened in 1891. This one was used until 1989. This was the last light on the Apostles to be automated.
Outer Island Light in 1874. This one is similar design found at Sleeping Bear Dunes and Pictured Rocks National Lakeshores

Michigan Island Lighthouse 1857 was originally intended for Long Island but was contructed on Michigan Island by mistake.
